Re: Juno reeds ... any older/advanced/pros using them?

The Juno reeds (I'm using #3.5) are amazingly consistent out of the box and play well, but they ARE a tiny bit "thinner" sounding ... not as dense or with the weight as some Blue Box or Pilgerstorfger Dolce, for example. And they do run about 1/4 strength lower than the Blue Box, but the Dolce are even softer ....

Wonder if someone took the care and break-in with these reeds if they would give longer service?

Might be just a thing with the M15 (works good with M30-lyre, too). Medium open, long facing might be the trick ...

I can get away with somewhat softer reeds during warmer months ... this winter I've been using VD 56 Rue Lepic #3.5+ on the M15 ...

As an "old man", always looking for something easier, less effort and more relaxation.

I probably need to post some sound bytes to support all my ramblings ...

Tom
